It just seems like with all this technology *someone* would have come up with *something* to keep these damn things in check. I just feel so horrible for all you guys down there. The people of Yarnell, losing their homes is bad enough but 19 friends and neighbors on top of it... Its beyond heartbreaking. Im so sorry this is happening to your beautiful state. I wish there was something the rest of us could do.
